“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

PARALLEL CANON: AGENT OF CHAOS
Hello, friends,
My name is Mohammed, and I’m reaching out from a place of unimaginable hardship. My family, like so many others in Gaza, is struggling to survive each day. The conflict has taken a heavy toll on our lives, leaving us to face a grim reality, our home has been destroyed, and we are left with nowhere safe to go. 😔
I am the father of three beautiful children, and as a parent, nothing is more painful than watching your kids grow up surrounded by fear and destruction. Mira, Bakr, and Maria are the light of my life, but they’ve never known the joy of running through a park without fear, or playing freely like children should. 💔
We’ve reached a point where staying here is no longer an option. The walls that once sheltered us now stand in ruins, and hope for a safe future is fading fast. We dream of rebuilding, not just our home, but our lives,somewhere free from the daily fear of war, where my children can sleep peacefully and smile again. 🕊️
But we need your help to make this dream a reality. Your support means more than just money, it’s a lifeline. It's a chance for us to begin again.
Every Act of Kindness Brings Us Closer to Safety. Your compassion can help us escape this nightmare. We are asking for your support, no matter how small, to help us start fresh, away from the violence, away from the rubble, and toward a place where my family can heal and grow. Every dollar you contribute is a step toward hope. 🙏
Thank you for standing with us in these difficult times. Your kindness can help us rebuild our lives and find peace again. ❤️🩹
With sincere gratitude,
Mohammed and Family
as much as i like agent 32 the idea of agent 24 with agent 4 as 3's annoying younger sibling is very funny to me like:
agent 3: i'm going on a date with 8 see you later
agent 4 getting dressed: mom said i could come!
agent 3: your not going on my da-*cut to 3 and 8 at a fancy table with 4 eating a slice of pizza*
Guys I'm literwally so bored I need Splatoon oneshoy or headcanno ideas please, I'll take ships or x rewder. I don't care, just give me ideas in my ask box🙏🙏🙏
Gotta do what you gotta do
Hiiii! How are you ?
I Hope you had a good day. I saw your post about taking requests and wanted to request something :)
So my idea was like being Marie’s s/o ( so a x reader story ) that behaves like an old person as in hobby’s and such. This is like kinda based on the comment Callie makes on Marie’s hair…
Preferably I would like a gn!reader but you do as your comfortable I don’t really care! + you don’t have to take this if you don’t want to
[Author's note; I literally forgot about this, sorry!1!!! I didn't know how to put this into a story, so instead enjoy the head cannons]
Grrr I love doing these they're so fun
MARIE, who has one of those small beaded coin pouches
She used to collect these pouches and shows them off to you, but now she learned how to make them and even made you one!
She has one for coins and one for those little candies most grandmother always had.
She mainly keeps those strawberry ones and butterscotch ones.
She munches on them before concerts.
MARIE, who has all this money and could get a fancy, brand new Bugatti if she wanted but instead has a 2011 Volkswagen that she refuses to get rid of.
When you first saw her car it caught you off guard. I mean, she's definitely pretty wealthy but it doese make since she's not pretty materialistic, given her personality. Though you'd think she'd at least get a newer model.
When you asked her about why she hasn't gotten a new car yet, she felt judged.
"If you have a problem with my 2011 Volkswagen named Beatrice, you can get out and walk."
Don't judge her car she will fight you over it.
MARIE, who sits on the patio with her little "Fish in the area wants me" mug in her hands every morning.
It's her own little ritual she does.
Every now and then she'll ask you to sit with her, which is a honor as usually she doesn't want anyone to bother her or near her when she does this.
MARIE, who bakes
this originally started because growing up she would make cakes for her parents for their birthdays. To perfect her recipes she would bake everyday until it was were she liked it.
Now it's became a habit.
Considering your her S/O, she'll randomly bake for you.
It's not too rare for you to come home and there will be a fresh batch of cupcakes or brownies waiting for you!
She'll also pull you out of whatever your doing just to taste test for her.
"Marie, I'm in the middle of a turf battl-"
"I don't care, I need you the try this icing."
Just make sure your home when she's experimenting.
MARIE, who gardens in her freetime.
she's always had a green thumb for plants, but I'd like to think the one thing she can't keep alive is orchids.
It's just simply to hard not to overwater them, or give them too much sunlight.
Worse part, they're her favorite flower.
Don't give her orchids, she'll cry.
MARIE, also has a garden in her backyard and plants out through her house.
Her worse fear is being on tour for a month or more and coming back and her plants are dead.
So she begs you to check up on them for her!
Just keep in mind, you kill her plants, she'll kill you.
You swear she gives more love too her goddamn flowers than you at times, but as long as she's happy!!
MARIE, who's bedtime is strictly 7pm.
if she stays up any longer she's a moody and slightly clingy mess.
MARIE, who crochets.
She has many quilts and sweaters she's made.
She would make some custom just for you, but that's too much effort so instead she let's you have some of the ones she already made.
She's also tried sowing.
She kept on poking her fingers over and over again and had enough.
It looked like a murder scene and she'd went through a whole pack of bandaids.
So much for those expensive ass fabrics she bought to make you something.
Never again.
[Unfortunately ran out of ideas but this was fun anyways. Thanks for requesting!!!]
Me every Saturday after watching the newest episode of My Hero Academia
Hi!!! Before I leave any type of request I am just curious, who do you write for? Plus any rules I should be aware of ?
Sorry for answering so late I didn't see it until later this day😞
I don't have many rules when it comes to request, mainly just basic stuff like don't ask for weird stuff. (Ex: !nc€st, l0ilcon, ect.)
I don't do nsfw because, 1. I'm a minor and 2. I'm shit at writing it, but I will do suggestive or implied nsfw.
Another thing is just be patient. I take a lot of breaks and I'm not really on social media a lot, so I'll see it when I see it🤷♀️ I might put some request on hold, if I do then I'll make a post with which ones are on hold and will probably pin it.
I do write for in game character as well as Coroika characters. No splatsvile characters. I don't trust myself to not mischaracterize them yet/don't know enough about them😭
For splatband characters it rlly depends who, so ask and if i respond I'll do that character.
Last thing, I'm bad at writing Octavio and cuttlefish, so because of this I'm probably not going to take Cuttletavio or x readers. If it's like [_] as ur father or personality quirks I might do it.
Edit: Feel like I really need to mention this, please, be specific, especially when it comes to headcannons. Do not just say [character] x reader and not give a headcannon or a scenario. I need something to build on. Please at least try to give me something to work with.
Second edit: Just so you know if I don't like the idea then I won't do it. Sorry, it's just impossible for me to focus on writing something that I think will be boring🥲. thank you!
that's it, have a good day/night👍👍
